PASADENA – Free dental care will be offered to the first 75 patients registered on Sept. 30 at a “Dentistry From the Heart” event at Park Place Dental Care, 277 S. Euclid Ave.

Starting at 8 a.m., Dr. Robert Shimasaki and Dr. Karrie Chu and their volunteers will treat the first 75 patients, or however many they can treat by 3 p.m.

Services provided consist of either a free filling, cleaning or extraction. All ages are welcome, and appointments will be on a first-come, first-served basis, oragnizers said.

This will be the third such event sponsored by Park Place Dental Care.

“Now more than ever, I know there are people out there that need my services, but have no means to afford them – whether they’re out of a job, or just don’t have dental insurance,” Shimasaki said in a statement.

Mayor Bill Bogaard will attend the event, and there will be a gourmet food truck on site. Dr. Jeffery Kotsubo, an endodontist who has been in practice for more than 20 years, has also volunteered, organizers said.
